Russell Brand: EXPOSING the Profit System & Why We're All Getting Sicker | TUH #131

About this video

A largely philosophical conversation with Russell Brand about addiction, fame, faith and — in Brand’s argument — a profit-driven system of big food, big pharma and the military-industrial complex that he claims benefits from perpetual sickness and conflict. Brand advocates localism, whole food, prayer and spiritual connection, criticises patenting and centralising seeds and information, as he presents it, and defines an ultimate human as one connected to a higher purpose rather than a closed loop of self-fulfilment. Brecka largely agrees and compares his home to a biohacking ‘Willy Wonka factory’, in Brand’s joke.

Key takeaways

• Brand argues systems geared to maximising profit will always corrupt health and policy, in his view
• Brand states his addiction recovery led him to Christianity, mindfulness and spirituality, in his account
• Brand advocates local food and community as counters to centralised control, as he presents it
• Brecka and Brand agree chronic sickness is profitable in ways acute cure is not, in their framing
